  1. sneakerhead

    Sneaker collecting is the acquisition and trading of sneakers as a hobby. It is often manifested by the use and collection of shoes made for particular sports, particularly basketball and skateboarding. A person involved in sneaker collecting is sometimes called a sneakerhead. The birth of sneaker collecting, subsequently creating the sneakerhead culture in the United States came in the 1980s and can be attributed to two major sources: basketball, specifically the emergence of Michael Jordan and his eponymous Air Jordan line of shoes released in 1985, and the growth of hip hop music. The boom of signature basketball shoes during this era provided the sheer variety necessary for a collecting subculture, while the hip-hop movement gave the sneakers their street credibility as status symbols. The sneakerhead culture has emerged in the United Kingdom and the Czech Republic during the early 2010s.By the beginning of the 2020s, sneakerhead culture had become fully global in nature, partially due to "athleisure" attire becoming increasingly popular at both the low- and high-ends of the fashion world. It also extended well beyond its original focus on shoes originally designed for use while playing basketball, with Kanye West's Yeezy line of low-rise sneakers produced by Adidas serving as a well-known example.
